underground



After our belly's were full - we went next door to spend the night at the 1827 Ironmasters Mansion. It was once a "station" for the underground railroad. Check out the underground rooms where run away slaves would stay. The sides of the building were all brick - with small windows at the top - where lanterns could be placed - in code - to signal if it was safe - and from which direction to approach the house.
